Devilyn - Artefact (2001)

The group was founded in 1992 in Tarnów on the initiative of guitarist Łukasz Luboń and bassist Marcin Nowak. Until 1995, the group was conducted under the name of Cerebral Concussion.

The idea of ​​founding Devilyn was born in the head of Novy and Bony in 1992. However, the specific actions took place a little later, when the musicians mastered their instruments a bit better (Novy bas, Bony guitar), that is to say, the end of 1993/1994. The first members were: Novy - bass, vocals; Bons - guitar; Piotr - guitar; Kuba - drums. At that time, the band was called Cerebral Concussion. These musicians recorded the demo tape "The Rule", which was promoted underground in Poland and beyond.

1996 is the decision to record a great record and sign a contract. Thanks to Mariusz Kmiołek, the band signed a contract with the French company Listenable (for two albums) and changed its name to Devilyn. In the world, the group made its phonographic debut with the material "Anger". Thanks to very good reviews, Devilyn toured Europe together with Cannibal Corpse and Krabathor in 1998. Also in 1998, the band recorded another material, which received the title "Reborn In Pain". Unfortunately, during the next two years the band did not give concerts, and the album was not promoted properly. There were also personal problems.

In 2000, there were serious changes in the composition of Devilyn. Piotr, Kuba and the guitarist of the session Borówa said goodbye to the band. In their place came Basti (drums) and Dino (guitar), both also playing in the spinal cord. Already with these musicians in the composition, thanks to the help of Michał Wardzala (Mystic Production) Devilyn signed a contract with Pastic Head - Blackend. Until the end of 2001, the album recognized as the best in Devilyn's production - "Artefact" - was released.


However, the peace in Devilyn's ranks did not last long. As a result of misunderstandings in 2002, only Bony, the founder of Devilyn, remains on the team. Novy moves permanently to Vader, while Dino and Basti concentrate on the game of the spinal cord. After a while, the band is fortunately new musicians that also have an impact on the creation of the new album "XI".


The new five-member band consists of: Bony (guitar), Cyprian (bass), Imp (drums), Erian (guitar), Michał (vocal). The quintet in 2004 played some concerts in Poland and abroad. The album "XI", which will be released at the end of February and March 2005, will launch the label Conquer Records.


As part of the promotion of the album, the band made a joint tour in Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia with Neolith.A big surprise for the musicians was the attendance to concerts in Finland and Latvia. More than 1500 people saw the route.

  
In 2007, the health problems of the co-founder of Devilyn Bony forced the suspension of the band's activities.
